Clark State Fishing Lake, and Wildlife Area

Approaching through flat farmlands and pasturelands, visitors are pleasantly surprised to discover Clark State Fishing Lake nestled in the deep Bluff Creek canyon, located less than an hour from Dodge City. Several short drives or walks, on both sides of the lake, provide scenic vistas of this rugged western Kansas treasure. Red-headed woodpeckers, white-breasted nuthatches, and other woodland birds are found along the Jay R. Wood Memorial Nature Trail.
